About this audiobook
New York Times bestselling author T.D. Jakes pens a compelling story that unites love, suspense, and faith into one heart-wrenching package.
Based on the film Woman Thou Art Loosed: On the 7th Day (executive-produced by T.D. Jakes) this novel follows the lives of a couple whose love and commitment are tested when their only child is kidnapped right from under them in their gated community in New Orleans.
David, a respected college professor, and his wife, Kari, appear to be the perfect churchgoing, prosperous couple when their young daughter is abducted. The police immediately launch an investigation and set out to find the child of this high-profile couple. Reports surface of a serial child-kidnapper on the loose with a pattern of killing his victims on the seventh day, so there’s no time to waste. In pursuit of information relevant to the case, the police uncover information about Kari whose past threatens her marriage and challenges the couple’s capacity to forgive.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5David and Kari are leading the good life along with their little girl, Mikayla. However, unexpectedly life changes for the worse. All of a sudden these loving parents find themselves looking for their little girl. Mikayla is stolen out of their house. Perhaps, a better word is kidnapped. No ransom is ever asked for, but all the same Mikayla can not be found. David and Kari are heartbroken. They hope and pray that Mikayla will be found alive and well.T.D. Jakes brings these characters to life. They are definitely three dimensional. I felt as though Mikayla was a child in my neighborhood whom I had waved at or given cookies and milk. Even though Mikayla is not given a voice until deep into the story she still seems real. We see and know her by what the parents say about her.Mikayla's disappearance is the high drama in the novel. However, when one thing goes wrong in life suddenly something else and something else go wrong until our whole house falls down around us. In the midst of looking for Mikayla, David and Kari find out they really don't know one another. Both parents have pasts which can destroy their love for one another and could very well destroy the family circle before or if Mikayla is ever found.It is amazing how human nature can find a way to lead two lives at one time. I suppose this is why people say we are actors on a stage. What I learned about Kari surprised me. What I learned about David shocked me more than Kani's situation. On The Seventh Day by T.D. Jakes becomes a plea for the human community to let go of the past. To share our secrets with the one we love the most knowing that God will never forsake us. His love is always there to catch us when we fall and to stabilize us. Secrets will not destroy us because His Love covers us.It is mind jerking suspense wondering whether Mikayla will ever be found, wondering who could have taken her and wondering if they are hurting her in some way. I only wish T.D. Jakes had chosen another title. I fear people will think it is a nonfiction book about marriage or some other subject if they don't read the inside cover. I would have liked a Thriller like title. This would ensure every one would know their picking up a Christian mystery novel. This does not mean the title does not have purpose. The title is a huge literary symbol for what happens in the novel. I look forward to reading more fiction by T.D. Jakes.tdjakes.on-the-7th-day/
